0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm supposed to be on a health kick.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Another day of holiday food's not going to kill you.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Come on!- OK.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Can you text Paula and tell her that I had a lovely time

0:01:10 > 0:01:13and that she can pop by this afternoon. Please.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15And tell her to bring my bag with her!

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- She hasn't still got that, has she? - Six weeks.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21You're too nice.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Do you want the low-down on...

0:01:25 > 0:01:27more job losses,

0:01:27 > 0:01:28- a school fire...- No.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30MOBILE TEXT ALERT

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Right, she'll be here at 12.30, with the bag.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41So, lazy morning then quick gossip with Paula, is it?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Suppose.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Life of Riley, you.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48I think I might need a change.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50So does everybody when they get back from holiday.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52You never do.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Well I can't help it if I love my job,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56my wife and my...

0:01:56 > 0:01:58youthful good looks.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Shut up!

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Right I'll be back about 8.00.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03And remember, I've got an overnight on Thursday!

0:02:21 > 0:02:23DOORBELL RINGS

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Hi!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Do you know what, I've forgotten your bag again, I'm sorry!

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Right, let's have a look.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Not too tanned. See, I don't have to kill myself, come here!

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Roasting hot, only rained one day, can't complain.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46You're so jammy.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49When I went at Christmas it rained all week.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Rest of the time it was just chilling and cocktails on the beach.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- You're making me sick now. - You'd have loved it.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- We should all go as a gang next year. - That's a really good idea!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Don't go telling everyone, cos me and Jackie

0:03:00 > 0:03:03are very picky about who we share a beach with.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Erm... just sat on the beach the whole time.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I am so jealous.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Well, it can get a bit... boring.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Are you mad?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'd like to go to a market or a church, or something.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18But John just wanted to... relax.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's bliss! Do you know what I did?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I ran round like a mad woman cooking for 13 on Christmas Day.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25That sounds quite enjoyable.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Jackie Jones! Has the sun fried your brain?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32There's got to be more to life than being horizontal and drunk.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33You must have had a lovely time though.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ashley! I'm going to be sparkling all day now.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Sorry! But you will come?

0:03:44 > 0:03:45You try and stop me.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Congratulations, darling!

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- You are going to love being married. - Do me a favour.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51She's just bitter.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53She's just not daft enough to tie herself down.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Armley Hall, eh?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Posh. Now don't you be running off to have babies too soon.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Hello, stranger, good holiday? You're early.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Well I missed you all. What can I say?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11I'm flattered. Grab a coffee.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Did you see this?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16The day the wife went missing he was digging a pond out the back.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19- I mean just hang him now.- Really?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Oh, yeah.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22He used to drive her to work and wait until she went inside.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Every single day.- That's creepy.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's been in all week.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, I've been away.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Have a look when you get a minute.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Right, I'm out the back. Give us a shout if you need me.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Got some holiday sweets. Help yourself.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Aw, ta!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Ooh!

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Oh, Love In A Mist, I love that.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Oh sorry, Paula gave me that, I don't think I'll bother.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51It takes ages to get going but then this church collapses

0:04:51 > 0:04:53and loads of people die.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's really, really good once it gets going.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I can't find it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Hope I haven't left it in the hotel.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Here we go... got ourselves a secret disco dancer here.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Aw, shut up!- We found him with glitter all over his jacket.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10It was in a wedding invite!

0:05:10 > 0:05:12He'll be on Strictly before you know it.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15THEY LAUGH

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Who's wedding?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19It's Ashley in the Hadley Road salon. I forgot to tell you.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I haven't got my reading glasses.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Let's have a look.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25BOTH: Ooh, Armley Hall.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Posh.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- When is it?- December.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- I hate winter weddings.- Why?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Weddings should be in the summer.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Funerals in the winter?- Ideally.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36He won't have a barbecue unless it's boiling hot.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38He likes things just so.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- I like things done properly.- Absolutely.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42And in the right season.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46So, if she's found dead in the shed, we'll know it's because she gave you salad in November?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Least it'll be the right time for the funeral.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Listen, our Pat worked with that garden murder bloke

0:05:51 > 0:05:54and said he was a lovely fella, so...

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Your Pat says that Hitler was misunderstood.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Nah, he just likes to see the good in everyone, darling.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Unlike you.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yeah, well better to suspect that you're married to a murderer,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- darling, before it's too late! - Yeah, well, you might be.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08THEY LAUGH

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Ssh, keep it down!

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Apparently he was digging a pond out the back the day she went missing.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Guilty. Ooh, nice top.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19Oh, thank you.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Yeah, got it for the holiday.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Looks lovely, that. Yeah, suits you, lovely.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'm telling you, he worked with the bloke.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31And I'm telling you,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34he must have worked with half the blokes in the county.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Well, he's had a lot of jobs! - That's true.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yeah, because he's always getting sacked.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Also true.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Promise... if we ever end up like that, you'll just kill me.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Hiya.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oh, thanks for covering today.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Typical Sandra, phoning in sick. Again.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's no problem.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10You are a life-saver.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, I wasn't doing anything this morning anyway.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16And I'm recruiting a quiz team.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'd be useless, sorry.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's just a bit of fun. Tuesday nights in The Volunteer.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22I'll see what I'm doing.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I won't take no for an answer.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26And what about this?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'll look at it in a minute.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I know! I'm bombarding you and you haven't even got your coat off.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36But take a form anyway.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Hiya. Oh. what's this? Full time job?

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Extra money would come in handy.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Open to all but I've got to go through head office.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47And they want personal statements.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49You're kidding, aren't you? Will we have to interview as well?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Depends!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Be just like her to make us sweat.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Are you going for it?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Me? No. I'm not really interested.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Do you fancy listening to this on the way home?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Apparently it's better than the film...

0:08:46 > 0:08:49You're joking, aren't you? I've got loads of CDs in there.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50It's meant to be funny.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Not while I'm driving, it'll do my head in.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Well, what if I was driving?

0:08:55 > 0:08:57You?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Maybe I should put in for my test.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Maybe you should. World's your lobster and all that.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05You'd have to take the written test first though.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Maybe I'm destined to listen to Radio One for ever then.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Come on, get a shifty on!

0:09:23 > 0:09:25I pick you up from work, we get taxis to the airports,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27we go shopping together.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- When you going to need a car? - I might want to go to Lakeside.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Well, I can take you there. - Well, what if I was...

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Two fish and chips, a gin and tonic and a coke, please.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38What was the special?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, it's nothing you like. Seafood or something.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Let's go and sit over there.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46You know, the one good thing about not driving

0:09:46 > 0:09:49is that you get to drink all you want.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Are you calling me a lush?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, come on, would I say that?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Oh you're going to have to do my roots tonight, John.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58I can't stand another day.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00No problem.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Actually, what do you think about me going a bit darker for a change?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Or even red?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Nah, I don't think you'd suit it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Can always try it.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14You'd hate it. And I'll just end up having to fix it tomorrow.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah, you're probably right.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Have a look at this.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Full-time? Are you serious?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I was considering it.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Three days suits us, doesn't it?

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Well, I was thinking of the money.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41No need.

0:10:41 > 0:10:48But then, I could think about driving and maybe...

0:10:48 > 0:10:49What?

0:10:52 > 0:10:57Reading... and writing properly.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Babe, that's a load of things to take on all at once.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Yeah, well I don't mean doing everything straight away.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Are you worried about something?

0:11:06 > 0:11:11No, I just... can't stay like this for ever.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12I want to be normal.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Last time I tried to teach you a few things...

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I know, I was really horrible to you!

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well, I'm no teacher.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21No, you were lovely. And dead patient.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25But maybe I should go about it the right way.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26How?

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm not sure. A proper class.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Back to school?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Can't think of anything worse.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48We could try a shade darker next time, if you really want to?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Maybe.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54That film's just started. Do you fancy it?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think I'm going to listen to this instead.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Oh. All right, well, I'll just tidy up in there.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Wouldn't say no to a cuppa, if you fancied making it.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46PHONE RINGS

0:12:49 > 0:12:50Hi, hon.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52'You out?'

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Yeah, I'm in town.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55I was just heading for the bus home.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59How's the hotel?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Cardiff's finest.

0:13:01 > 0:13:06It's better than the last time, at least there's some soap, y'know?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Are the girls OK?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09'They're useless!

0:13:09 > 0:13:12'I've been to four salons and three of them are under performing.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16'Honestly, that lot couldn't sell a lifejacket on the Titanic.'

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh, go on, you adore them all.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23'Yes, I am a fool to myself. Have you bought anything?'

0:13:23 > 0:13:25No. I'm just browsing.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26That's not like you.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29I can't see anything that I like.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36They were cheating on their phones!

0:13:36 > 0:13:38- We came second last, you know! - We need a bigger team.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40You couldn't make it any worse.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Sandra's writing was so bad I couldn't even read the team name.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45I told you, it's really not my thing.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I thought I was quite good at the picture round.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51She thought Justin Bieber was Donny Osmond. Please come next week!

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Please!

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Sorry, what can I get you?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01I just want to iron my top.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I'll do that for you.- Oh, thanks.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'll just finish my hair.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oh, ta.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54I must've brushed past the sink or something.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm sorry.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00It's OK.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01I'll buy you a new one.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15You've got to come just to see Rita the Cheater in action.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18I could heard her in the toilets talking to that Vinny.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Come on, you're coming!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21One gin, one vodka.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I was going to have lager and lime.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24You never drink lager.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- I just fancied a change. - John, will you tell her?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Tell her what? - To come to this quiz with me.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31She hates those things.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Leave her alone.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Will you just stop going on about the quiz!

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Hey, have you had your hair done again?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44She is married to a hairdresser.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's not very fair. Having you at her beck and call.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- I've just built you a new kitchen! - Well I can't wear that out, can I?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53All right, Paula. Come round tomorrow night, I'll do it for you.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Aw, thank you. I'll pay you.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56No, you won't.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59He's a star, isn't he? And it is a really lovely colour, you know.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Softie.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Thanks.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06So, you, what about Gran Canaria for your birthday?

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Hey, what about that?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Gran Canaria for your birthday!

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Have you booked it?

0:16:16 > 0:16:17Well, don't sound so happy.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Is he for real? That is just so lovely!

0:16:21 > 0:16:24I thought we could do a city break instead?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28You don't want to lie on a beach?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I just want to do something different.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yeah... all right...

0:16:33 > 0:16:35You've booked it, haven't you?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40It was just this really good deal on a five star,

0:16:40 > 0:16:42I didn't want to miss it but...

0:16:42 > 0:16:43No, it's fine, it's fine.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Hey, I've got an idea, why don't we come with you?

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Don't wind me up!

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Gran Canaria is meant to be lovely.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54We'll do some boat trips, we'll chill out, see some dolphins.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I can have some pina coladas!

0:16:56 > 0:17:00She can have a pina colada or ten. And we're all happy.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01I'd love to see a dolphin.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04What d'you think, John?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yes, why not. I will change the booking.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Yeah!

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Nice one!- Here's to Gran Canaria. Cheers.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Hiya.- Hey.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30What happened to the bleach stain?

0:17:30 > 0:17:34I replaced it. It was the last one in the shop.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Great.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40I bought you this. D'you want to go change?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Thanks. Next time.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Look, we're already late. Get a shifty on.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Got you the lamb and a bottle of wine.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14So, Paula and Alan...

0:18:15 > 0:18:17What about them?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Are you sure you want to go on holiday with them?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I don't mind.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Cos it can get awkward with mates.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27It'll make a nice change.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Change is not always nice.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33We're out of that wine, sorry, would you like to choose something else?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35We'll have the chardonnay.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Excuse me. Can I have a glass of rose, please?

0:19:04 > 0:19:05What were you saying?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12The holiday.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Oh, yeah.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Well, we all seem to get on fine.

0:19:17 > 0:19:22And there seems to be loads of things to do.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I might get some holiday brochures tomorrow,

0:19:25 > 0:19:27see if there's some trips we could book.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Right, what about when we're all lying on the beach

0:19:36 > 0:19:38reading our books?

0:19:44 > 0:19:45What about it?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50You might feel awkward.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well I'll just have to come up with something.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's easier said than done.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01No, it isn't.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31All right, we need to work. Let's sit over there.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Slave driver.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Aye, but we'll have a cheeky wee glass of bubbly while we're at it.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37That OK with you?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39We just need to go over the itinerary

0:20:39 > 0:20:41and then you can get back to the party.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43As long as you're still buying me champagne.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Yeah, yeah... I'm on it, all right?

0:20:52 > 0:20:53Cheers!

0:20:58 > 0:20:59Aren't I glad it wasn't Marvin's turn.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Aye, you definitely wouldn't get any booze out of him.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Why do you think I fiddled with the rotas?- You did not!

0:21:05 > 0:21:06Girl's got to live a bit.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Good for you. Right, five minutes on this...

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Nice top.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Thanks.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59I should go.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03You don't have to.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Not on my account.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Face it, this was a one off.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Had your wicked way, have you?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17John, you and Jackie...

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Yeah, we're solid.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Exactly.- Except somehow we're not any more.

0:22:28 > 0:22:33We used to do everything together, liked the same things, never argued.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Now it's...

0:22:38 > 0:22:40She just doesn't understand you?

0:22:40 > 0:22:41HE LAUGHS

0:22:41 > 0:22:44No. Um...

0:22:44 > 0:22:45I don't understand her.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48What do you mean?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I do everything for her.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I don't mind, I love it.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58She loved it.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01What's changed?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I wish I knew.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Do you still love her?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yeah.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16But I'm not sure if she loves me.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'll go.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24No. Stay.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13HER HEART POUNDS

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Trust me to be late on my first session!

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Promise I won't make a habit of it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21I'm just going to get myself together.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Could you get into pairs and introduce yourselves

0:24:23 > 0:24:26and then tell each other something about yourself, I don't know,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29your favourite colour, where you went on holiday, anything.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Five minutes.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35PEOPLE CHATTER

0:24:50 > 0:24:52And last, but not least...?

0:24:52 > 0:24:57Oh yeah, erm... this is Jackie, she's from the posh end.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03She's got a dream job cos she works in a cake shop.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Thank you. Custard slices, my downfall.

0:25:07 > 0:25:12Now, OK, let's get to work.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Nothing too strenuous for your first session, eh.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Do you wanna take one and pass it along.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yeah, well, I said that, it'd be a good laugh.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Don't mind me. For you.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Gorgeous!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- You're not too bad yourself. - I meant the flowers.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36They're lovely.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37I'm going to grab a shower.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Meant to ask, can you still apply for that full time job?

0:25:40 > 0:25:41What?

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Just thinking you should. You were quite keen, weren't you?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Yeah, well it's too late, it's gone now!

0:25:46 > 0:25:47That's a lucky escape.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51He knew I wanted to go for that.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Tried to put me off it.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55I don't know what's the matter with you.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59Flowers, no kids, part-timer. You don't know you're born!

0:26:01 > 0:26:03What's the matter with ya? Will you just chill?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- You can do it. - I can't get it right.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Yeah, you will, if you just chill.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Lewis is right, you're doing really well here.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Just look at this group

0:26:12 > 0:26:14and see if you're sure they belong to the same type.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Fab. You don't need me.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well, she won ten grand on the lottery,

0:26:33 > 0:26:35and he thought she hadn't told anybody.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38You seen that?

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Carnage.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Awful.- The usual?

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Turns out she'd told the milkman for some reason.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Not this again.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48That was crucial evidence,

0:26:48 > 0:26:50because he used some of that money on the pond!

0:26:50 > 0:26:52She is obsessed. How are you?

0:26:52 > 0:26:53And then the milkman...

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Just knackered after the weekend away.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Where d'you go?

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Dublin. No, wait, what am I saying? Cardiff.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Work was it?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yeah, same old, same old.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08He couldn't read properly, neither could my mum.

0:27:08 > 0:27:13I mean, we never had books or stuff like that in our house.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16My mum had books but she never encouraged us to read.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Same with my mates, never read comics, never mind spoke about them.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's like Harry Potter.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Never read the book, just went to the cinema instead.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Do you...

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Do you admit to people that you can't read?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Nah, I bluff it.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Just get my sister to read and write stuff for me.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44Me too. Well, my husband does it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46What about school?

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Schools. I must have been to about six.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yeah?

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Yeah.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55My dad used to do a bit of this and that.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57He had some market stalls.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00If he needed help he got me and my sister to work there.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02He didn't care what the school said.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07But then my sister left home and she went to college.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10And you?

0:28:12 > 0:28:13Erm...

0:28:15 > 0:28:17I married John.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I'm just so sick of bluffing to everyone.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34- I know! It's hard work, innit?- Yeah.

0:28:37 > 0:28:41Don't worry, not for long.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43I read my credit card statement the other day.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47I wish I hadn't but, you know, that's progress.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Look at you two! Right dream team...

0:28:49 > 0:28:50again!

0:29:51 > 0:29:54Haven't had any money from Alan yet.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Right.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Yeah, at this rate I'll be still asking him for it at the airport.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Have we filled in the census form yet?

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- No, I haven't had a minute. - Well, it's due in two days.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19It'll be fine.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25Where is it?

0:30:25 > 0:30:27I don't know!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Great. I'll just spend all night looking for it then, shall I?

0:30:32 > 0:30:35We've had it for weeks. I asked you to do it and you said you would.

0:30:35 > 0:30:36I remember!

0:30:36 > 0:30:38So where's the form, John? I don't want to get a fine.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Can I just...

0:30:40 > 0:30:43finish my dinner before I get on with my chores?

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Are you sure it's not in the car?

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Yes.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12At last! Right, I am going to bed.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Right, well, aren't you going to fill it in?

0:31:15 > 0:31:17No. I've spent all night looking for the stupid thing.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19No, no, not all night!

0:31:19 > 0:31:20Virtually all night. I'm tired, all right?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23So the form's just going to have to wait.

0:31:23 > 0:31:24Maybe I should have a go?

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Don't be ridiculous.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32I'll do it tomorrow.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34- You're working late again tomorrow. - Then I'll take it into work.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36- What if there's no time? - I'll stay up late.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38You're falling asleep at 10.00!

0:31:38 > 0:31:40I will drink coffee!

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Good night.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11- I'll get up early tomorrow. - Whenever.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19It's boring, y'know.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Filling in census forms,

0:32:24 > 0:32:28staying up all night looking for cheaper car insurance.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34But I'm happy to do it.

0:32:36 > 0:32:41Well, maybe I'd be happy to do it too, if I had the choice.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48There is no need.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52We like the way things are.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Don't we?

0:32:58 > 0:33:01We're fine, love. We're fine.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07I just want to help.

0:33:12 > 0:33:13I'm saving you a job.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16I know.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Coming up?

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Yeah, yeah. In a bit.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37OK?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Didn't want to wake you. - What time did you get up?

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Silly o'clock. But this is filled in.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15So I'm just going to post it now.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18MOBILE TEXT ALERT

0:34:22 > 0:34:24I'm going to be late tonight, remember.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28OK. Right, well I might go to the pub quiz then.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30OK.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Quiz?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Just for a drink.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Nice. See you later.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Oh, hi, is that the Bridgecourt Hotel?

0:35:16 > 0:35:17'Yes.'

0:35:17 > 0:35:20I know this might sound daft but are you in Cardiff?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23'Actually no, we're in Dublin.'

0:35:23 > 0:35:24Dublin.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30'Is there anything I can help you with?'

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Erm no, sorry, wrong one. Thanks.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57SHE SOBS

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Are you absolutely sure?

0:36:33 > 0:36:39There's hotels and florists I've never heard of.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42I could sense a difference.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49After Christmas I wanted to change, I wanted to feel normal.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54I just wanted a choice in things.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56And he stopped you from doing that?

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Somehow, he managed to.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01How?

0:37:01 > 0:37:04I've always looked to him for encouragement,

0:37:04 > 0:37:06ever since we met,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11and I'd get it when it suited John.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14But with the reading, he just did everything.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16I can't get my head round that

0:37:16 > 0:37:19because I'm sure I've seen you read...

0:37:19 > 0:37:22No, you just think you have.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27I mean, I'd glance at the paper, I'd memorise things,

0:37:27 > 0:37:28I'd make an excuse...

0:37:28 > 0:37:31even lied about that book you lent me.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Feel a right fool.- Join the club.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38Hey, come on. You've done good. Nobody's clocked anything.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41And you've got a job. And a nice life.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Not any more.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45You'll sort that out. After you've lynched him.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51Just... I just wish that I'd worked it out sooner.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55I had no confidence.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00It was mine and John's secret and I could get by.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04So what changed?

0:38:04 > 0:38:08Nothing. And that's the point.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14John just wanted everything to stay exactly the same.

0:38:17 > 0:38:21Y'know, despite what he's done...

0:38:21 > 0:38:24John's a really good husband.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29What you going to do?

0:38:44 > 0:38:46PHONE RINGS

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Hello?

0:38:51 > 0:38:55'Hi, it's me.'

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Where are you?

0:38:56 > 0:38:59'Just leaving Bristol, I should be about two and a half hours.'

0:38:59 > 0:39:02OK.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03'See ya.'

0:39:03 > 0:39:05See you later.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Dear John...

0:39:43 > 0:39:48No-one has ever been so kind or thoughtful to me as you.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53You do everything.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59But it's time that I did things for myself.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09You don't like change and that's fine

0:40:09 > 0:40:11but...

0:40:12 > 0:40:15I'm different now.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18I know I pushed you away.

0:40:18 > 0:40:23My world got too small and I just pushed you out of it.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'm sorry.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32I know why you needed someone else.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I really do. I understand.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41I hope you understand why I'm doing this.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43I'll always love you, John,

0:40:43 > 0:40:46but for now I have to find my feet.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49And I have to do that on my own.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Love, Jackie.
